The Poetry Lounge 3: the Power of Performance Study Guide & Lesson THE POETRY LOUNGE 3: THE POWER OF PERFORMANCE STUDY GUIDE & LESSON PLAN To order this and other programs call: (888) 570-5400; (310) 839-1500 www.epfmedia.com © 2018 EPF Media All Rights Reserved THE POETRY LOUNGE 3: THE POWER OF PERFORMANCE Spoken Word poetry is a contemporary form of performance that has revitalized young people’s appreciation of the poetic form. Spoken Word can be distinguished from more traditional poetry the way a play can be distinguished from a novel, in that it is written specifically to be performed. Where a traditional poem is often purposefully obscure and is intended for multiple re-readings, spoken word poets have only one chance to communicate their meanings to the audience. Like plays, spoken word poetry is designed to elicit an immediate and visceral audience reaction. Because of this a lot of power must be packed into the poem. The following guide is designed to be used interactively with the Poetry Lounge DVDs. For each poet, we have included material that can help you point out salient features of the poet’s craft to student along with teaching ideas that can be used as prompts to help students in their writing and performance of spoken word poetry. In some cases the power of the poetry comes from the artist’s performance. Just like the skill of an actor can make a play powerful, how the poet performs his/her poetry often has a great deal of impact on how the audience responds. “The Power of Performance” is designed to help students explore how they can use aspects of performance to enhance their poetry. While every poem has important poetic and performance aspects, this guide is designed to emphasize specific features of each poem so that teachers can use them as models to help students in the writing, revising, and performance of their own poetry. Performance is a unique feature of spoken word poetry. Although some aspects of performance need to be introduced to students with ongoing exercises (such as eye contact, voice projection, and movement) some can be taught through using experienced poets as models. There are particular features of language and action that cause the audience to respond to your poetry performance. Here are some suggestions from the Poetry Lounge 3: The Poems From Poetry Lounge 3 1 MUMM-RA VS PANTHRO By Paul Maboon Thunder! Thunder!!! Thunder!!!!!! Thundercats Hooooooooo!!!!!!!! 5th grade I was Panthro! Hands go Wappa! Wappa! Wappa! with my nun chucks to much for any domestic abusing foe! Shoulder straps! Spiked tips! Muscles ripped! The Coolest Thundercat! And even though he was blue, you knew he was black! Back when Mom's only son wasn't afraid to act when we were on our own then He came home "Wonder if he gonna live with us?" Didn't trust him, like most boys do grown men moving in "He spending the night again? How come he got three pieces of fish? I did clean up! He used that dish! Wish he just gone somewhere! That's not fair! He cain't tell me what to do, he ain't my Daddy! I ain’t even do nothing! Why you mad at me?" Because she loved him. She was happy. Next few years instincts wouldn't let it go, let it flow "Paul, Charles said you wanna go fishin?" No! "I'm watchin Thundercats, all-day-long! Playing with action figures singin that song Dun Da Dun da Dun Da Da, Thundercats are loose!" In Today's Episode The evil Mumm-Ra The Ever-Living aka Charles, is living with Panthro's mom But Panthro uses his nun-chuks to beat up Mumm-Ra till he's gone! Oh no! Panthro! We're under attack! Calm down! What's wrong WilyKat? I was cruising in the Thundertank when Jacklman jacked me, for The Eye of Thundera! And then he went and slapped me! Thhhh! AHHHH! Mumm-Ra's using the The Eye to hypnotize your mom! Lion-O gave me the Sword of Omens, should we tell him what's wrong? Lion-O's a punk! I should have been the leader! Then I could date Cheetara and have some baby pather-cheetas! Alright Mumm-Ra I'm bringing out my nun-chucks! Wappa! It's time to die! Stop hypnotizing my mom! Wappa! And give back the Thundera's eye! Wake up Mom! Mumm-Ra's evil! Remember when it was just us? "Panthro! Watch out Mumm-Ra's power is about to bust!" Booom! Quick! Everybody run to your room! Cover your ears. Get under the cover! Get under the cover! Boom! Get under the cover! Get under the cover! 2 Get under the cover! Stop hittin my Mother! Stop hittin my Mother! Stop hittin my Mother! stop hittin my mother 3 DEFERRED RACE By Brotha Gimel So I'm hanging on the block with my crew, right? And Uncle Sam approaches in the form of Popo. My boys disperse, straight get ghost. But since I decide to stay, Jake. I mean, Uncle Sam told me had this task you wanna throw my way as his partner's beginning to pat me down he's like, don't bother turning around the challenge is this if you can run 100 + 1 yards non stop on a straight away beaten path you'll be granted total and complete liberation. In other words, we'll stop sweatin' you Can you do it, boy? Aren't you gonna clock or me or nothin'? Shooff. I take off with all the intensity and vigor my little body can Muster. I'm gonna win. With my eyes on the prize of my imagination's favorite muse. Freedom. Conquering my life's insecurities and inhibitions while increasing intuition one yard at a time. Diminish your self hate with a high stepped sense of pride and astride of [sovereign awareness] That's my encouragement. Capable of making calculated[snap decisions]like putting them up and putting them down in a flash. This is the dash of a lifetime. A generation. A a race. Run! 60 yards in I begin to contemplate the responsibilities of my future emancipation as possible. Run! For all the black activists, artists, dreamers and freedom fighters who have never left for the promised land. Run! I own up to your ideals, each one, teach one, leading by example and not letting you down. The weight on my shoulder I don't mind if it's how I'll be defined. By the 90 yard line I'm starting to feel like the weight is over. Nothing can stop me now, social progress is mine. 4 I attack 95 with tears in my eyes and a feeling I've never been deprived [by the eyes in the glasses at my 9 to 5] Fatigued and winded I oppose 96 willing to commit to a strategy to rehabilitate convicts Defy gravity 'cause it is not a coincidence that I'm saying goodbye half hazardly as 97th and 98 th yards are overcast by ambition and fate. I grind out 99 with upraised spine and my chin just got no more obstacles to now bump my chest than glory, bam! I'm stopped in my tracks, unable to make the final yard mark. I'm reaching for the door to freedom but I can't quite reach the knob, there's something stopping me, and it's-- There's an anklet. It's nice, it's like platinum and gold and with some diamonds on it. Oh, and the diamonds-- Look at that chain! Oh, that's a really nice chain, man. That chain's long enough it's like four, five hundred years long I can put some joints around my wrist I can trade it in and put some joints around my neck and have a whole matching set on me to flash on the block. I could take the rest of it and trade it in for a new whip. Brand new mansion. I'll be the flyest dude on this block! In my new 500 Benz. Thinking of the Benz. I was going somewhere. I was gonna get-- But before that I had to-- We were gonna-- It was-- Damn. Guess my race got deferred. 5 COURAGE By Crystal Irby I’ve been in the valley Wishing I was on the mountain top I’ve been on the sand Wishing I was in the ocean I’ve been in the darkness Praying for the light I’ve been in the morning Praying the night So I could cry Just a little bit longer for you And I’ve been on earth Praying for heaven I’ve been where broken hearts go And I don’t wanna see the end of the world anymore So I finally got the courage To swallow my cries And I finally got the courage To stop believin’ your lies And I finally got the courage To stop waiting on your phone call And I finally got the courage To take those dead roses off the wall And I finally got the courage To say no And the world didn’t end Like I thought it would And I finally got the courage To let you go And I kept on breathin’ Like I…Like I never thought I could So I finally got the courage To pray to God to get over you I mean to really get over you And I finally got the courage To take your photographs outta plain view And I finally got the courage To wash your T-shirts So they don’t feel like you 6 And I finally got the courage To delete your numbers From my phone So I won’t call And I finally got the courage to realize You don’t miss me at all When I check my messages And I don’t hear your voice When I check my caller ID And I don’t see your name On my birthday…the holiday…or just Wednesday So I finally got the courage To stop thinkin’ I was born into this world just to love you And I finally got the courage To stop thinkin’ being by your side is all I could ever do And I finally got the courage To stop fantasizing and rehearsing our reunion Because I finally got the courage To realize our time had reached its conclusion So I finally got the courage To be mad at you for leavin’ me And I finally got the courage To stop going to the places I knew you’d be Dressed in my best outfit For you to see To make you realize Just how much you really/really missed me So I finally got the courage to realize Maybe you and I weren’t written in the stars And I finally got the courage To put peroxide on all my scars To cleanse my wounds So my heart would have no bars And I finally got the courage To stop missing the smell of you on my pillow And I finally got the courage Too stop missing you lying beside me And I finally got the courage To stop missing you looking into my eyes To stop missing you touching me Stop missing you holding me Stop missing you kissing me 7 Stop…missing…you So give me the gold medal And the heavy weight belt I ran the longest distance And I took the hardest blow Give me the trophy and the crown That reads Broken heart healed/Lost self found Engrave my name on a plaque Write the date in the history books Today I did the hardest thing I ever had to do Today I woke up and realized I finally got the courage To get over you 8 MONSTERS By Poetri I have demons.

    Trials Chapter 2 By Aria Moonsinger Lion-O looked at her and his heart swelled with pride; then he pulled her towards him and held her in his embrace. “I thought I couldn't love you more than I do right now; I seem to fall in love with you more and more, you truly understand how I feel about my people and what I want for them.” then he kissed her on the lips. Jolene wrapped her arms around his neck; after the kiss, she said “I just wish there was someway I could stop doubting myself.” “There is; but you may not like it.” Lion-O said. “What way won't I like?” Jolene asked. “You could go through your own set of annointment trials to become a thundercat. Before you get too excited; you'll be facing each thundercat that you've been training with, including me.” explained Lion-O. Jolene's face grew a little pale as she said, “I would have to go up against Panthro, Cheetara and Pumyra, Lynx-O, Tygra and you? Sparing is one thing; but this would be for keeps. If I fail just one trial; there wouldn't be any point in continuing. This is the best that you could come up with?” Jolene then stood up and started to pace the floor. 'How can I go up against them? I'd have to fight my friends; people I respect and admire, plus the man I love.' Jolene stopped and looked at Lion-O; she saw love and respect in his eyes and knew that was for her, plus she knew he would go with any decision she made.

  • Curse of Sekh by Clare Chapter 3 Cheetara and Tygra Wasted No Time in Getting Back to Cats' Lair After Hearing the Unicorn Keep
    Curse of Sekh By Clare Chapter 3 Cheetara and Tygra wasted no time in getting back to Cats' Lair after hearing the Unicorn Keepers' story. The moment the two Thundercats were safely inside their fortress, Tygra switched on the telescreens so they would have more chance of spotting an enemy before it could attack. Not that this was a foolproof security system - Mumm-Ra had been known to trick his way in by using his ability to disguise himself - but it had often provided the Thundercats with early warnings of attack. Next, with the screen showing no signs of movement on the plains outside (although how long that would last with what Mumm-Ra and the Mutants were planning was anybody's guess) he switched on the transmittor and prepared to contact the other Thundercats. "Have you managed to warn everyone?" he asked, even though he did not doubt his fellows for a moment. Even so, it was a relief to him when Panthro's voice came through via the communicator installed on the Thundertank, assuring him that he and Wilykat had and were already on their way back to Cats' Lair. "Message acknowledged, Panthro," Tygra replied. "Lion-O has your group fulfilled its part of the mission?" "Affirmitive, Tygra," Lion-O's voice replied. "The Tuskas and the Snowmen say they'll be watching out for any signs of trouble. I only hope it'll be enough to deal with whatever Mumm- Ra's planning," he added as an afterthought. Tygra paused when he heard the young Lord's words; what Lion-O had said was exactly what he, Tygra, was thinking.

  • Requiem for a Leader by Spaced Angel Part Six up Close, The
    Requiem for a Leader By Spaced Angel Part Six Up close, the situation at the Wollo village looked more desperate than seen from the safety of the Lair’s viewscreen. Several huts lay in ruins, their roofs collapsed inwards, taking the upper parts of the walls down with them. The Wollos had scattered, dropping everything in their haste to escape. It had been market day and the stalls now stood abandoned, their wares dashed to the floor in the wake of their terrified owners. It was a ghost village, inhabited only by drifting smoke and the four Mutants, who stood laughing at the devastation they had caused and pocketing valuables lost by the fleeing villagers. "Accursed Mutants," Panthro growled. Beside him, Tygra dragged his eyes away from the ruined village to glance over at his fellow Thundercat. "They are as they have ever been," he reminded him. Panthro nodded. "They've always been a thorn in our side, granted. But that was before they killed Lion-O. Now they're a menace." Tygra considered the deeper meaning behind the panther's words. "What do you suggest?" "If you don't know, then you've no right to carry that sword, real or not." "And you know why we can't." Panthro glared at him. "Speak for yourself!" The Thundertank lurched forward as he stamped his foot down on the accelerator. With a roar like an enraged beast, it tore up the ground and hurtled towards the Mutants. To their credit, they stood firm for a long time before it dawned on them that Panthro had no intention of stopping.

  • Thundercats Bio-Booster Armor Guyver One Last War to Fight Episode Seventeen: Recovery by Knight Writer Tygra Blew a Sigh Of
    ThunderCats Bio-Booster Armor Guyver One Last War to Fight Episode Seventeen: Recovery By Knight Writer ---------------------------------------------------------- Tygra blew a sigh of great relief at the sight of the ThunderTank rumbling toward the Tower of Omens with all three ThunderCats aboard. Stacked on the trailer behind were several wildebeest and deer carcasses which needed dressing and butchering. A haul like that would ensure that they would have food well into yet another of Third Earth's long winters. In the desert in which the Tower had been built, the temperatures would not reach the extreme lows the grasslands in which Cat's Lair had stood, but game animals would be scarce in the lands which were in range of their vehicles. In a desperate attempt, Panthro had even suggested using the Feliner to hunt the unknown regions of Third Earth near the planet's equator for game despite the spacecraft's horrendous usage of Thundrillium while in planetary atmosphere. Regardless, Tygra thought, Cheetara's been busy to bag that many kills. She'd been serious about playing catch-up. Tygra idly wondered if WlyKit had managed to bring down any kills of her own. Likely not, he mused. The first hunt for a female often went scarcely rewarded for the young's tendency to smash through the vegetation in pursuit of meat which was used to being prey and wanted to live just a little longer. Though Tygra hated the thought of having to kill to eat, he knew it was a necessity. Another thing goes right, yet something else goes wrong, Tygra thought as he recalled Sho resting in the infirmary next to Lion-O.

The newborn Wollo was currently nursing at his mother's breast as the pair lay on a hastily-made bed of furs and blankets. The birth itself had gone smoothly and without incident, despite the unusual circumstances of her having been brought here. "I understand you brought her here?" she asked of the Bolkin who stood flanked by two Maidens. "I did," Bundan replied. "She was saying some strange things as I was bringing her." "Such as?" Analee asked with a raised eyebrow. "I am not familiar with the Wollo language," Bundan explained, "beyond a few words and phrases." "If you don't mind?" "Not at all." Bundan took a deep breath, recalling all he could from Rosa's ramblings. "El Diablo... That means the demon.. and something about the ground swallowing people. I apologize, but that is all I can decipher." "Thank you," Analee said quietly. "It is enough." Dyme, she thought. "Kayla!" "Yes?" "Send word to the ThunderCats. Tell them to meet us at Salvador's village this afternoon. Bundan, will you remain?" "I have little choice," the Bolkin replied. "Until sunrise, travel is just too dangerous." "Very well." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Breakfast had gone well. As for the council session, he had no idea. The lessons concerning the Code of Thundera had been skipped. Pain, however, was quite demanding as a kick from Panthro landed against his ribs and sent him sprawling.

ThunderStoners Episode One: Who Bogarted the Munchies?! -------------------------------------------------- "It's cashed, Jaga," Panthro said as he tapped the bowl on the control console, just under the smiley face sticker. "Oh, maaannn," Jaga replied as he looked about the bridge of the flagship. The mood lighting cast everything in an ethereal glow, bringing out the beauty of the black-light posters that hung from the walls and the beer stains on the deep shag carpets. "The lunatic... is on the grass..." "Heee heee heee..." Tygra giggled as he adjusted the volume and Pink Feline oozed out of the speakers like an aural acid trip. "Hey, maaaaan. I'm @%$!^in' NAKED, here!" "So am I," Cheetara belched from his left, a bottle of rum in one hand and a coke in the other. She was far too drunk to notice the collective shudder of the other ThunderCats on the bridge. Alcohol didn't do much for one's girlish figure, she had yet to realize. "Hey... hey... Jaga, you an' yer brother want I should wake... um... what's his name?... Y'know, the little red-headed @$&%..." "Lion-O?" "Hey, don't both of you talk! Yeah, I mean him..." Cheetara let out a mighty belch which resonated off the walls before speaking. "Why? Let the little @&*% sleep." "Nah..." Jaga replied. "He's gotta see this &^%#." "Word," Tygra said, his enormously dilated eyes staring in Jaga's general direction.
